Also means
resignation (from a post)
Usage Note
Rassegnazione in everyday Italian almost always means quiet acceptance of something unavoidable, not the act of stepping down from a job — for that use dimissioni. The verb rassegnarsi means 'to resign oneself' and often carries a tone of weary but dignified acceptance.
Examples
"Ha accettato la sconfitta con rassegnazione."
Natural Translation
He accepted the defeat with resignation.
